Masterpiece Golden Koi Yixing Teapot: Rare 50-Year Clay, Handcrafted by Zhou Xinyuan & Xu Nan
$642.86Handmade Yixing Zisha Golden Koi teapot by Master Zhou Xinyuan. Rare 50-year clay, 80CC, adorned by Xu Nan. Collector's item (¥4500).
The Yixing zisha teapot stands as a unique representative of traditional Chinese handicrafts. It serves not only as a tea brewing tool but also carries profound cultural significance. This particular zisha teapot, named "Golden Arowana," was collaboratively created by multiple top-tier artisans, boasting exceptional artistic and collectible value.
The most striking feature lies in its special clay material. The dark green clay preserved since the Republican era has been treasured by Master Zhou Xinyuan's family for over five decades. After half a century of natural aging, the clay texture has developed extraordinary fineness and warmth. Such material has become virtually unavailable in today's market, making each handmade Yixing teapot crafted from it an irreplicable masterpiece.
Inspired by China's auspicious golden arowana, the teapot's streamlined body captures fluid swimming motions. Its upward-curved spout ensures drip-free pouring, while the precision-fitted lid features intricately carved scale patterns. Despite its compact 80-milliliter capacity, the Chinese purple clay teapot offers perfect weight distribution in hand.
Master Zhou Xinyuan, a national-level craft artist, inherited traditional techniques from successors of legendary artisan Wang Yinchun. Each step from pounding clay slabs to final shaping maintains pure manual craftsmanship. The surface reveals natural textures from hand-beaten clay - vital marks no machine can reproduce.
Master Xu Nan, a Jiangsu Provincial craft master, adorned the body with dynamic water ripple patterns. His varied engraving depths create three-dimensional effects that interact with tea liquor, producing subtle light reflections. These decorations harmonize perfectly with the teapot's form, visualizing a fish gliding through water.
Though petite, this Yixing purple clay teapot excels in functionality. Its 80ml capacity optimally brews aromatic teas like Tieguanyin or Phoenix Dancong. The interior maintains proper breathability to enhance fragrance without absorbing odors. The angled spout design prevents overflow even when fully filled.
Aged clay teapots develop captivating transformations over time. Regular use deepens the purple clay teapot's hue while developing a lustrous patina. Natural minerals in the dark green clay react chemically with tea, eventually creating unique iridescence - a rewarding process requiring patient cultivation that embodies the spiritual props of zisha appreciation.
As a collectible masterpiece, this Chinese Yixing teapot combines rare materials, master craftsmanship, and innovative reinterpretation of traditional forms. For foreign tea enthusiasts, it transcends functional ware to become tangible art embodying China's craft heritage. Whether for daily use or display, this handmade zisha teapot offers unparalleled cultural immersion.
